Team Polti Kometa is an Italian-registered, Spanish-based UCI ProTeam cycling team, that was founded in 2018.[2] The team was promoted from the UCI Continental level in 2021.[3]
Based in Pinto, Spain, and sponsored by the Fundación Contador headed by Alberto Contador, it was launched in 2018 as a UCI Continental youth formation supporting the Trek-Segafredo team.[4] In 2021, under the patronage of the new sponsor Eolo SpA, it acquired the UCI ProTeam license, and this season it was invited for the first time to the Giro d'Italia.[5]
The team rides Aurum Magma bikes equipped with full ENVE components and SRAM groupset.[6]
